Dassault Systèmes

Dassault Systèmes and its Virtual Twin technology represent the full lifecycle, behavior and evolution of a product or system, starting with a 3D model that captures the shape, dimensions and properties of a physical object.

Now, readers can try out Dassault’s Virtual Twin technology.

Build a robotic arm Virtual Twin

Build a small robotic arm and its Virtual Twin yourself in this free EduSpace learning module.

By the end of the learning module, you will be able to:

  • Apply Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and Digital Engineering principles throughout the development lifecycle of a robotic arm project.
  • Conduct stakeholder needs analysis and translate those needs into a structured system architecture.
  • Manage system requirements effectively, ensuring traceability through digital thread integration.
  • Design mechanical and electrical components and utilize simulation and co-simulation tools to optimize performance.
  • Integrate software development within the system architecture and ensure smooth system deployment.

The following software prerequisites are needed to run the EduSpace learning module:

  • 3DEXPERIENCE Platform - Cloud version (2026x)
  • CATIA Magic (2024x or newer)
  • Claude AI
  • Python
  • Arduino IDE

License prerequisites in the academia field include:

  • 3DEXPERIENCE Platform
    • 3DEXPERIENCE Platform for Education (UXC)
    • Systems Engineer for Education Pack (U2S)
    • Engineering Expert for Education Pack (U2D)
    • Production Engineer for Education Pack (U2M)
  • CATIA Magic
    • Magic Systems of Systems Architect for Education (MYH-EDU-C)
    • Magic Model Analyst for Education (MSI-EDU-C)
    • Magic Collaboration Studio for Education (MCS-EDU-C)

Note: Access to educational licenses for individuals affiliated with an academic institution are available at highly discounted rates - please contact [email protected] for more details.
